Matthias Wivel has an interesting theory about the villain from the new Tintin movie. (It’s more plausible than the one in Anonymous, anyway.)

As many have been noting, Ng Suat Tong has done yeoman’s work putting together scans and moments from throughout Jaime Hernandez’s Locas stories that are referenced or otherwise alluded to in Jaime’s most recent story, “The Love Bunglers”. A good reference once you’ve read the book (but don’t spoil it for yourself if you haven’t).

A publication called School Libraries in Canada got a very good interview out of Dave Collier, regarding everything from his military enlistment to reading on airplanes. (Regular readers of this site get one guess who sent this link my way.)

Frederik Pohl remembers the longtime DC editor Julius Schwartz. I think some longtime Journal readers might be somewhat surprised at the piece’s conclusion, but I guess Pohl’s old enough now to be entitled to his own opinion.

I can’t keep linking to every post on Eddie Campbell’s blog (just bookmark it already), but this latest entry, with video of Gerald Early (who is really an extraordinary essayist), can’t go without notice. Read and watch.

UPDATE: I forgot to link to this sad news: Steve Rude has been arrested after an apparent altercation with his neighbors.
